Are you more afraid of ISIS or the next US President?

SSG Ed Mikus — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 14:44:55 -0500

ISIS, POTUS, Other International Conflict, which causes you more fear?

It's not the next president we should be afraid of (ok, hillary doesn't count, she belongs in prison) it's congress. No one is addressing the issue of why we have politicians in office for over 25 years and all the benefits of being one for 1 year. THAT should be the issue

None. These are not things I will choose to fear. Because I know, "It will all be okay in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end."

It is an interesting question. Our next president could very well destroy this nation. Going based on the two front runners (I know a lot can happen before November) Both Hillary and Trump will weaken our standing in the world community. Hillary is likely to respond by throwing money we don't have at the problem. Trump is likely to respond by throwing our military at the problem causing unnecessary deaths amongst our brothers and sisters at arms. ISIS is going to continue being the thorn in everyone's side until the world gets together, takes the gloves off, and beats them like a drum. I think ultimately it is going to come down to a cold war stand off though. Putin's Russia against the world. This time it will end in armed conflict. If Trump is elected, it will be nuclear war destroying the planet. If Hillary is elected it will end when we are bankrupted and fall apart under the economic strain of our own agenda. Either way, I fear for the world my Grandson is growing up in. We were supposed to leave them a better world. Doesn't look like that is going to happen.

We've survived poor national leadership...therefore, I don't consider the President to be a real "threat" any more than the people that elect them to the office, get appointed to their cabinet, or pass legislation based on the power the President's party does/does not have.

ISIS on the other hand, isn't a political party, or a government that can be manipulated by either oligarchy or conversely, "mob rule"...it's a physical, militant, armed and motivated enemy force that has as objective number one, the destruction of the West. They have proven their opinions can sway our own citizens, and that their reach extends into our own front yards...

...Yes, I'd say its prudent to fear (and to commit to the defeat of) ISIS.

People attribute a lot more power to the U.S. Presidency than it actually has. Whether our next president is Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump, neither would just have free reign to ruin the country. Our founding fathers were wise enough to place the Senate and House to, along with the Presidency, act as checks and balances against each other. Either person would have to gain a lot of support for whatever their agenda is, and I don't think they'd be able to get enough support for any of their crazier ideas. Executive orders only allow the President to work within what is already the law.

My biggest concerns are the migrant crisis, ISIS, and Russia's recent (last three years) aggressive foreign policy.

How the US Went Fascist: Mass Media Make Excuses for Trump Voters - BillMoyers.com

The rise of Donald Trump to the presumptive Republican standard bearer for president in 2016 is an indictment of, and a profound danger to the American republic. The Founding Fathers were afraid of the excitability of the voters and their vulnerability to the appeal of demagogues. That is the reason for a senate (which was originally appointed), intended to check those notorious hotheads in Congress, who are elected from districts every two...

I fear our government (president, congress, the courts, government agencies). None of them are FOR THE PEOPLE. They are for some of the peopled, and they are definitely for themselves, but they do not represent the whole of the people and they spend more time trying to circumvent the Constitution rather than be guided by it... and there's a segment of society that goes right along with them.

I go with option 3, not being afraid of ISIS or the next president. This country needs to re-educate itself on not reacting to or living through fear. Shut off the television with all of the "If it bleeds, it leads" spin and fix our problems from within. We don't need CNN, FOX, or MSNBC to tell us what is bad, because that is all they do. Its how they drive fear, through persuasion, and sensory overload.
